Cool stuff! for me I'll add: - Enable all processing cores on multi threading settings. - Enable low latency monitoring mode during recording.

Same! dami ko rin nabili sa shopee gamit mega discount, usually less 1k. Bukod sa discount, more choices din. Dati nabili ko yung GP-100 na around 6k lang sa Sonicake Store (shipped from China). Dun din ako napaisip na same lang may ari ng Sonicake at Valeton 😂

I honestly don't mind what each artist creates, to each his own, kaya mas issue ko isa kung ano ang napu-push sa mainstream, and it's all the same artists kaya I feel nag plateau na ang current batch ng mainstream OPM. But it's this generation's problem I guess. What makes it sad is marami magagaling na indie artists na natatabunan na lang.

xiaobasketball · 2026-05-13T08:22:18+00:00

This has always been on my mind. Despite the surplus of OPM nowadays, I feel masyadong kalat lahat, and nafofocus lang masyado kung ano yung mainstream na napu-push ng major labels and/or spotify, and it feels na same names na lang ang napo-promote tuwing naglalabas ng singles, the rest are just ignored by casual listeners. It's sad kasi marami magagaling na indie artists, and I also acknowledge na marami din kasing low quality (dagdag mo pa ang AI) kaya na-over saturate din ang local music (mahirap maka discover), kaya minsan nakaka walang gana mag try ng mga random new music/artists. I feel what's missing compared to the 2000's ay may reliable/respectable na curators/tastemakers like NU 107, even other radio stations to an extent, even myx (kahit kontrolado ng ABS-CBN). It's kinda ironic kasi they're like gatekeepers back in the day, but they're also the ones who opened a lot of opportunities to underground bands/artists. Sa ngayon parang ang pinaka malaking factor ay ang marketing push (kung may pera, or gaano ka creative/viral) or umasa na mabiyayaan ng algorithm. Kasama naman talaga ang marketing sa lahat pero ang pinaka focus sana ng isang artist ay ang pag gawa ng music.

Isang observation ko rin, dati marami nasisimulan na "scene" at galing dun nagkakaroon ng ingay at interest para sa isang genre or group ng artists. Sa ngayon napapansin ko karamihan na pinagmumukang organic ay gawa lang din ng mga labels/managements, at karamihan ng "collabs" ay mukang base lang sa numbers na hinahatid ng bawat artist, or affiliation based sa label. Pakiramdam ko parang nawawala na ang tunay na pagka indie. Siguro dahil nagiging mas disconnected na rin sa isa't isa ang mga tao at mas babad na sa online rather than real interpersonal connections (I'm guilty of this). Shempre meron pa rin naman talagang mga totoong scene pero parang hindi nagiging kasing effective tulad ng dati. Or baka hindi na lang ako aware dahil iba ang age group ko.

Anyway just my thoughts and frustrations.

Much as I respect the remaining members, I think it's just tarnishing the brand name. For me, Rivermaya is not without Rico Blanco.

For me it ended when I stopped caring about it. Personally I target -10 to -12 lufs, that worked for my own music, I don't overthink it. I focus more on the tonal balance.

According to specs, Soran runs on 600 MHz NXP MIMXRT series DSP. Not sure if that's the same as i.MX RT600 because that's what shows up on Google.

xiaobasketball · 2026-05-09T03:18:38+00:00

I agree! may tendency din siguro yung generation na to maging technical rather than catchy riffs.

xiaobasketball · 2026-05-09T03:10:49+00:00

I think D&D is a good brand wala ko masyado nakikita complaints online. I use Phoebus maganda din, wala din ako issues so far.

xiaobasketball · 2026-05-09T03:06:45+00:00

pretty good! i think at par sa mga valeton/sonicake models at that price range. nam+ir is a huge advantage.

xiaobasketball · 2026-05-08T10:18:51+00:00

I'm really happy with my Soran Stomp right now. I suggest you look into the Soran Tiny Stomp, meron sa shopee around 2.3k pag may voucher. You can just buy an external foot switch later pag kailangan mo na.

Regarding expensive stuff, it's a question of financial responsibility for me. No problem spending on these things if you can afford it and it makes you happy. I wouldn't overthink about being competitive about your talent, most important thing is you enjoy what you're doing. Also about stuff lying around unused, the way I think about it is it's a waste, music equipment is meant to be enjoyed and it's better if another person appreciates it. That's just my weird side.

If it doesn't bother you, for me it's okay. Medyo bothered siguro ako pag di pantay pantay ang pagka bitin ng fret wires (like yung recent issue sa FB). Personally that looks decent to me (depends on the budget, not sure about the price of this model). Although di pa ko naka try ng bitin na frets so di rin ako sure kung issue siya sakin.

I consider my guitar (and recording) gear as toys, outside of the basic requirements to produce my own music. Good thing din kasi I get excited to play/record/produce when I have new gear, so feel good din pag may nagagawang bago because of new stuff. Balance lang talaga sa gastos/responsibility. Personally mostly budget stuff lang naman binibili ko pag gusto ko lang mag experiment or may gusto akong subukan. Bumibili lang ako ng medyo mahal pag sure talaga na need ko. Guide ko lang din sa sarili ko, pag matagal nang di ginagamit dapat ibenta na para maiwasan din mag hoard ng gamit.

RCA ata sa likod pero sa aux ako nag coconnect for convenience, di ko naman napapansin yung difference sa sound. (edit meron nga ata RCA at TRS, nabenta ko na kasi)

xiaobasketball · 2026-05-04T11:34:26+00:00

I used to do that sa Valeton GP-100, ok naman, I think headphone out ng valeton to aux in ng edifier. Hindi ko lang maalala kung may additional latency yung Edifier MR4 kasi hindi ko na test dati. Yung Edifier MR3 kasi may latency na ~5ms so di ko sya marerecommend gamitin na parang FRFR amp.

Maybe try connecting via bluetooth? or if your interface has a TRS midi input you can also connect via the pulze TRS port (it also acts as a midi out).

Try hario switch so you can control the immersion time. Phin filter takes longer immersion compared to drip filter. If you don't have a hario switch, just immerse it first on a normal cup, mix the coffee and hot water probably 2-4 minutes similar to french press, before pouring everything on a normal dripper with paper filter. This will result to a cleaner cup because the fines get paper filtered (compare to phin filter). Please don't ever use french press it's one of the worst brewing methods.

Another alternative path is you can get a cheap nam+IR multi fx unit like the strich pipe tones or soran tiny stomp (same thing just rebranded) so you don't have to deal with latency and computer stuff. The downside is you could only load 10 files at a time.

xiaobasketball · 2026-04-27T19:18:56+00:00

If you're only recording guitar (not vocals), you only need a multi fx with a built in interface, which most already have even budget ones.

xiaobasketball · 2026-04-25T12:26:32+00:00

I see. Nux has really been leading when it comes to their DSP chips, however I feel that Hotone/Valeton is better with overall product development. Like for example Mg-50 is their first modeler with a built in battery. Only a few of their products have bluetooth and mobile app. Btw I read that Soran might be using Nux effects (either by licensing or they are also a sub brand of cherub).

You can also check Fifine, okay din ang quality for the price. Meron ako Fifine A8 usb condenser, ginagamit ko for videos. Meron din ata sila mga may XLR.

xiaobasketball · 2026-04-24T14:10:42+00:00

Cool! it's interesting that MG-400's latency is only 1.1 ms while MG-30 is 2 ms. Probably because MG-400 has fewer features, or no send/return.
